Foulger-Pratt Denies Silver Spring Transit Concrete Flaws

The Silver Transit Center was slated to open a year ago.

 

Foulger-Pratt says their structural analysis proves that the $101 million Paul S. Sarbanes Silver Spring Transit Center project doesn't have the issues that Montgomery County officials claim. Their analysis points out that the Transit Center meets the necessary specifications by Metro and the American Concrete Institute, according to an Examiner report.

Brent Pratt, a principal on the project, tells the Examiner that their tests proves that transit center can hold double the weight.
